Would you be happy if we sold Crofts for 300k and bought..

[BensGrandad]

Urm well he said by Lua Lua for 300k ? so i don't think im wrong .

That is my point £300k for Lua Lua is much too much by about £150 -200k and you said he was worth £1m, absolutely ridiculous valuation.

I dont want us to sell Crofts but for £300k we may well do but do not pay that amount for Lua Lua.

Well i wouldn't be surprised to see him sold for over a million somewhen in his career . But obviously it would be idiotic to get LuaLua to replace crofts because they're both completely the opposite player .

 

[WhingForPresident]

lua lua would cost more then that plus if crofts left we dont really have another natural leader who plays with his heart on his sleeve

Elphick?

 

[BensGrandad]

He may well do one day when he has mastered the art of running with the ball, crossing it to a team mateand scoring goals but until then sadly not.

 

[Foolg]

Nope.
Crofts is far more important to this team than Lua-Lua will be, and by no means is that a dig at lua lua's ability. A captain is the most important player in the team, and to chop and change it every season doesnt help at all, the base of a good side is a good spine, and a good spine needs a good captain.
Lua-Lua has extremely poor end product, and apart from one great cross, i cant remember a decent delivery he's put into the box. Saying that, i'd love it if we sign him.

Do people really think Crofts is Championship standard player? I'm not sure.

 

[Father Jack]

People are deluded, Hammond took years to replace with Crofts. our midfield looked weak in the two games he missed, he is the engine room, the catalyst he may not play the decisive pass but you can bet ur life he was the one who won the ball in the first place. Lua lua is quality but we need both.

 

[Perkino]

I wouldn't be too fussed, Dicker is the important one in the middle so as long as we keep him I won't really mind.

I'd obviously rather keep Crofts and just get Lua Lua in on loan, as I'm not sure how useful he would be in the Championship as he seems to lack an end product consistently

 

[Mellotron]

our midfield looked weak in the two games he missed.

Erm sorry but that's utter bollocks. Our best midfield performance of the ENTIRE season was without Crofts against Wycombe.

Bennett Dicker Navarro Cox

It was effin' perfect.

Against one of the weakest teams in the league.

 

[sjamesb3466]

Yeah I'd be happy with that. Whilst Crofts is a class player and has been superb for us this season we have some pretty resonable central midfielders to replace him yet have little on the left (an area that is notoriously difficult to find classy players). Lua Lua may not be anywhere near the finished article but has the potential to be a great player.

Wolves were happy to sell Bennett, Newcastle have not said whether or not they are looking to yet. Because he's at a far more prestigious club, they could easily dictate the price as Newcastle are looking to build for the future.

Personally, I've seen Lua Lua a few times for you and he's good at beating his man but has absolutely no crossing ability.

Did he even score/set up a goal in his loan last season?

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

No. Crofts is a major part of the engine room, the core around which you can start to build a team. We need to put an end to this revolving door policy with players else we'll be no better off this Christmas than we were last Christmas.

Its an interesting question, and I thought long and hard, read the pros and cons, and this is the most sensible post on the thread.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I voted no because I'd hope that we were a club that did not have to sell one of our most reliable players in order to buy someone else. I'd want them both.

 

[Brighton Boys on tour]

i voted no because we need to keep crofts imo i think he has so much passion and is a really hard working player!!

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

voted no you have to have leaders in the side

 

[Billy the Fish]

He's already proved that at gillingham

What about Hartlepool? We were rubbish without him, poyet said how much he was missed

 

[jharris]

If Crofts did go I think we may sign Peter Leven from MK Dons as a replacement.

THANK YOU!!!
Dicker is our best central midfielder, we'd be lost without him.
